20-1-2011 - Broccoli Soup Recipe

My mood while writing this blog: Happy with a screaming kid sitting here!

We've been discussing in the 14 month discussion board about our LOs not eating veggies...Samuel LOVE LOVE LOVES this soup! It's super easy to make and have both broccoli and potatoes in it! He will eat a ton!

Come up with 1 cup of mashed potatoes...either the old fashioned way or make 1 cup of instant.

1 small can chicken broth
10 ozs. broccoli
2 bullion cubes.

Simmer the above until broccoli is tender. Use as much broccoli as desired.
While this is simmering, in another pot, simmer together a large chopped onion or 2; 3 Tablespoons margarine; 4 Tablespoons flour, salt and 1/2 teas. pepper (I do not add salt until finished as it usually ends up salty from the bullion. Simmer until thick and onions are tender.

Add 2 1/4 cups milk and about 1 cup of velveeta cheese in pot w/onion, butter, flour, etc. etc. Stir together well. Add broth and broccoli to mixture. Then add 1 cup mashed potatoes.
